No I haven’t landed on the moon. This amazing landscape is taken at the foot of Mt Tavurvur. The ground is littered with centimeters of pumice stone pebbles and boulders which have been shot out of the volcano. Under the pumice are metres of ash which have buried the airstrip, golf course and many businesses.The sea is boiling and the rocks covered in minerals. Very surreal - it certainly makes you feel small and vulnerable.
Hot feet if you stick around.

ReplyDeletevery nice picture .. the moon .. well it's colorless actually .. earth is very exotic and many times seems out of this world :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see places in the aftermath of a disaster, whether a hurricane, a flood or a volcano.
ReplyDeleteYour picture reminds me so much of Montserrat and what the
The Soufriere Hills volcano did to that country.
Wow, that is so "impressonnant"!!!!!!!
